omg - the fisher price contest ends Dec 19??? o man!

Any guesses how long the halloween contests will be up???

My story is here http://www.sheknows.com/contests/fun...-cutest-things

But in case you're boycotting I'll share here because my monsters are sooo cute (my son - now 4 was a micropreemie so i like to brag about him)

I asked my 4 year old to keep an eye on his 1.5 year old sister while i stepped out the room. When i came back he was staring at her intently. so i said "thanks for keeping an eye on her bud!" to which he replied "I kept BOTH eyes on her!"

[rebate queen]

That's too cute Marianne!!

[lolcat]

So I'm cleaning up toys, folding laundry, trying to keep the cat out of the loaf of bread I just made. And I'm thinking "I'll go update the wiki... it should be easy, since its Thursday, we hardly get any words on Thursday!" HOLY CRAP... thats a lot of words, you guys!
NS totally had it nailed, too... hehee

By the way, NS... I somehow missed that post about Blair thinking he had another Aneurysm! What specifically is making him think that? I'm so sorry you have so many worries and troubles on your plate at the moment.

LOL you do that and enjoy every bite of them

Can you not lock the wiki or something? I do not go on it but I can beat people up for you virtually if you want? Just say the word and I am on them...I could sit on em too since I am sitting at home and continue to gain weight...geez why is this weight struggle such a battle *sigh* Sometimes I wish I was pregnant to blame that

LOL Amy, you are awesome! I cannot lock the wiki, as it is hosted on another site, and they leave their wiki articles open to the public. I've found the next best solution, I just make a copy of it and cut and paste it every time I edit, so that I know I am adding ONLY to what I've already done and not reposting words etc. It is hard enough for everyone I am sure keeping track of what they have and don't have without having multiple posts.

oh I just hate it when I get so far behind on posts but wasn't on all day yesterday or this morning. Been running a fever and chills, tossing my cookies for several days but on steroids so didn't know what was wrong this time. Woke up yesterday with a raging kidney infection but have only been able to keep down one of the antibiotics so far. The dr gave me a shot for nausea this morning and a pain shot so hopefully will be better. Did keep some broth down the antibiotic is thinking about coming back up but hoping.

Oh Honey, I feel so terrible for you... any one problem you are having is overwhelming, and all of them together is just terrible. I'm sorry I can't come nurse ya, I'd totally do if I could!

Well, I'm back again...
didn't even get caught up from the last time...
too much to go into, but I've been sick a lot, sooo much going on, and just finally to a point where I'm having a hard time keeping my head above water...

...hoping to not have to disappear again...we'll see...

it will probably take me days to catch up....

I've missed you all BUNCHES and a buttload...lol

RQ! You are like the college daughter who only calls once a week! LOL
You have us all wondering how you are all the time.
Seriously though.. I'm sorry things are piling up on you, and that you are having a hard time with your health. We are all always here for you if you ever need anything!

[lolcat]

Also, just so everyone knows..

I don't know what is going on, but I hope things clear up with your health and life to keep our funny RQ back on here and not sinking in this world.
*Virtual hugs*

LOL, Im gonna be in your hood this weekend and shopping like mad

[NSangel]

lolcat: on the inside of his leg, there's a vein and a lump protruding from it. now he's saying he had this for 3 years. same leg that had a bunch of knots in it, and when did the surgury, also did something to these knotted veins. now he has had the dr look at it before (so he says), but somehow it has changed?

hubby changes what he says all the time, he worries me. but i am making sure the dr knows next wed about it. i don't know what else it could be, but i'm sure it's possible it's something else. i mean, who ever heard of someone with 3 aneurysms???

but ya this is our luck tho.

is your daughter feeling any better? did you have to take her to emerg? did i miss that post?

[lolcat]

AMY! I wish I could meet you Shopping like mad? Where are you going?
I live right near London Health Sciences Hospital in London!

Actually, it is scary but, people who have one Aneurysm are more likely to have more, even if nothing ever comes of them. Especially in the legs, it is quite common to have one develop in the leg opposite of the affected leg. The real worry with aneurysm in the leg is that if it causes the artery to be blocked completely, it can cut off circulation.

He should always be on guard for these symptoms:
1- A severe pulsation in the lump on the vein (like the blood is pumping extra hard, it can also feel like a really bad muscle tic)
2- Leg pain associated with exercise, OR during periods of rest (not post exercise)
3- Numbness or radiating pain in the affected limb
4- Anything on the affected leg that looks like a sore, or an infection, especially on the toes.

I'm sure its probably fine, but he should definately get it checked out. Has he ever been tested for an Aortic Aneurysm? That is more common with people who have had peripheral (limb) Aneurysms. He should always be on the lookout for any kind of numbness that is unusual, that is commonly the first sign of trouble!

Kitten is ok, thank you for asking She had that severe day, then she seemed fine. Judging by the amount of chicken and potatoes she ate at supper, I'd say she's fully recovered! LOL She's such a little stinker, I caught her stealing candy from the Halloween bucket that I had hidden in the hall closet. She had 3 Ghost shaped marshmallows and and a mini Aero bar in one hand and was crawling away in a hurry to Winter's room when I caught her! LOLOL

HUGS Angel, I hope things go well at the doctor for Hubby!

[rebate queen]

Hey anyone know where Rebate Queen is? I miss her quirkiness

Awwww, Amy discovered I was missing first, or just posted about it first...thanks Amy

OMG...it's got BOO!



TRICK..NOW WHERES MY TREAT?

LMFAO

LOL is it bad that I'm 19 and want to dress up and go trick or treating!
I stopped going out when I was 10 cause some a$$hole old guy looked at me said you're too old to go trick or treating and shut the door in my face its cause I was always tall for my age so I looked 16 in my costume but was only 10 and that kind of killed halloween for me
but now I feel the urge to go out LOL

Happened to me at 10 yrs also. I was very tall. I remember being pretty pissed off about it cuz I love me some candy!!!

oh baby. that's quite the poem. alot of ppl will adopt older pets because they are calmer. they are esp good for seniors etc. i have no qualms about adopting older pets at all. it's just sad that the tend to go quicker. but with pets are you never know anyway.

I love that poem babygonnermann!!!


crap, can't remember how many pages I have left now, but I'm only on Nov 1st.

I love Halloween too and was sad this year cuz it was the first year not going trick or treating with one or both of my kids. My son quit when he was 11 and my daughter went with her friends this year. I also love giving out the candy. I do Halloween bags with all kinds of cool stuff in them. I have them done in age groups and by girl/boy. I go way overboard, but I remember how much I loved getting one of the treat bags instead of just 1-2 pieces of candy. We also go all out on decorations, including a fog machine, glowing graveyard, and a bubbling steaming cauldron---but too much to type.

LOL, I will probably stop at first to the Liquidation World off the highway I think Wellington then the Old Navy there cuz somehow I always score clothes on sale for myself and I have a coupon spend $50 this weekend and get $10 off so an incentive to finally buy myself something purty Depending on the following days schedule my sister will want to hit the Home Sense near the mall there and Loblaws and Marble Slab...so that is my shopping I think. Saturday at around 5ish we are heading to the bridal shower and spending the night in London cuz my moms best friend's house is empty, just her an empty nester...well it is her granddaughter getting married.
So do you know if what I am talking about is close to you at all?

[rebate queen]

Just saw your posts lolcat and Amy...thanks!
You all make me feel extra special (not in the short bus kind of way..lol)

I'm sure I'm leaving people out, but I still got lots of catching up to do...trying to keep up with the current and catch up with the past....

I live about 10 minutes from White Oaks mall, which is the big mall just up the road from Liquidation World and that Old Navy you mentioned. We really love that Value Village that is right across from Liquidation World, it is too bad you aren't sticking around till Monday the 17th, that is Value Village 50% off everything day!
If I got to meet you while you were here, that would be the greatest thing EVER! LOL Tell me if there is time in your plans, and I will totally be willing to meet you anywhere you want!

[rebate queen]

Thank you all so much for your support on the contest thing. I'm still peeved a bit, but not hardly at all, since I read all the nice things you guys posted!
HUGS

So sorry that people had to ruin it

Happy belated birthday to little Winter!!!

This was my favorite joke as a kid.

How do you catch a polar bear??


you will need a saw, and peas.

You take a saw cut a hole in the ice and place peas all around it. Hide behind something close by and wait, when the polar bear comes up to take a pea you kick him in the icehole.

LMFAO!!!

Another screw up?? This contest must last a whole year...lol
Thanksgiving Hunt Contest!
November 1st - October 30th

OMG...doesn't that just figure...lol

BUYING Viagra

An old man goes into a drug store to buy some Viagra.
"Can I have 6 tablets cut in quarters?"

"I can cut them for you" said Dan the pharmacist, " But a quarter tablet will not give you a full erection."

"I am 96" said the old man, "I don't want an erection. I just want it sticking out far enough so I don't piss on my slippers."

lmao

you know what i want? one of those vacuum seal machine thingys. they'd suck the damn air out. of course, if i ever found my hubby on the end of one of those things..*shudder*

omg!! My mom said she caught my dad doing that once...

did rebate fire off letters to the sheknows sponsors? there aren't any new prizes up. LOL

i wouldn't be surprised if she had helped get their ratings up. where the flying fudge is she hiding???

I've had to put off dealing with P&P for the moment...but trust me...I'm not through with them

TY got her.... Yeah where is RQ......wth???? Is she ok? weird.....

...and someone else misses me...

Politics and religion are always a good thing to stay away from to keep things civil. My friend and i disagree on pretty much everything and struck each others nerve tonight and had to end that conversation pretty quickly lol.

Sorry i've been away everyone.. i've had a lot on my plate lately and have been trying to just deal with stress away from the computer. I apologize if anyone sent me a pm or email and i didnt get back to you. I let them all pile up on me.

As for halloween my Elvira costume went over really well... although i think i look a little like a man dressed up as a woman.. lol. I'm too embarrassed to post it here but ill email it if you're really curious.
I'm also not much of a drinker and wound up at my friends party hugging the porcelin gods at some point in the evening.. a girlfriend sent me home in a cab. jeez. so embarrassing!

I have been really disgusted and disappointed this year with the way people have acted over politics. Why can't we just respect other's opinions and and be respectful stating our own opinions???

I want to see your costume!!!


chandra, I'm so sorry about Missy...big hugs for you and Justin!

[rebate queen]

So you know the guests should really come on and join up and join in the fun. We like new people here and only a few of us bite!
Speaking of biters - where is RQ??

ok...I won't ask...lmao....

we are trying to find rq, seek has emailed her. she hasn't been on any forums since before the 28th, so i'm hoping she's ok. (we have spies everywhere).

...and what a good detective seek is!!!

omg she hasnt been around since before the 28th! we have to find her!

I hope rebate Queen is alright.

Wow, I've never been missed this much....ya know I'm just an orphan that feels like they have a home now!!

o dear, i can hardly bear it. i am trying to enlist a handsome mountie, but the last time i sent one out looking for her, he din't make it back

I'm still waitin' on him....I think he got lost in New York looking for Aphena

Still no word from RQ really worried about her. Hopefully we hear from her soon.

I'm so sorry...I wasn't doing email either

crap no word from RQ and its been how long? did she say she was disappearing...?

that def is not normal for me...you all know I'm addicted to SC...I was feeling so bad that I did NOT miss it....now that's BAD!!!

I hope RQ is alright also! Really miss her she is such a kick and so much fun.

you guys are totally awesome on boosting someone's self esteem!! Thank you so much!
stardreamer, I hope you are feeling better...seems like you've been having a heck of a time

Hello everybody!!!

I've been avoiding this thread for a long time because it seemed so intimidating. I started collecting words and points two days ago and I'm now at 10500. I can't believe how fast they add up. Thanks to everybody for all the words. I hope I can start finding them and contributing to the lists soon.

Thanks again
Billy

I'm a little late, but WELCOME!!

we are attempting to make verbal contact with rq
(in other words seek is phoning)

again, unbelievable...I don't have my business listed for safety reasons because it is in my home...and the phone is in my ex's name still....

I hope RQ is okay, any updates?

Thanks for asking

I found out rebate queen has been ill.

great detective work again, she found the number and somehow got my "friend" to answer(he usually does not answer the phone)

k, i need to elaborate on seek here. she has been hunting rebate down for 2 days. we've been emailing strangers on facebook with the same name and everything.

so seek finds her kidney, with a phone number. gets ahold of a very sexy boyfriend, and yes it's rq's! she's supposed to call her in the am.


so don't ever go missing on sc or seek will dig up your organs!

There are people with my name out there??
So seek finds me on the internet by something I had no clue was even on the internet. No it wasn't really my kidney, but some donations I did for a fundraising event. It was really odd that this was how I was found. Who'd a thought it?? She was a little concerned that I would be mad...my God NO!!...I was totally amazed and honored...even brings a tear to my eye now. I honestly have not had many people in my life care that much. Between my "friend" who treats me like a queen and you guys...I really feel so blessed! Thank you again!

Tell her when you talk to her that we miss her and hope she gets better soon the thread just isnt' the same without her! Thanks

she did, and I appreciate it so much

oh seek

tell rebate if she doesn't come back on line, your going to give out her phone number to all the flirty (to put it mildly) women on sc to call that bf.

and you need to change your title from smart canuck, to

SC awol hunter or sumthing

....and he's such a sweetheart, he would talk to you for sure-so different from my ex who was such an a s s that I was embarrassed for him to answer the phone

Tell RQ get well and we miss her!

Thanks Tammy

I will tell her she is missed very much by everyone.

....and she did

hope rebate gets better..awesome hunting skills seek

it's a continuing battle, but things are just piling up on me...
I hope you are doing better too. I read some of your posts and know that you weren't doing so well...

Sorry to hear about RQ --but at least now we know!! Great job Seek.

Thanks so much. I am really overwhelmed (in a good way) by everyone's kindness and concern

rq update:

I just talked to her. She promises to drop by and see us this weekend. She says she feels some better, but she is also very busy these days. She was glad to know that we miss her.

Yeah, the proverbial s h i t is hitting the fan now. 1 1/2 years of being a single mom and dealing with this chronic health crap. Every part of my life is suffering now from my inability to handle it all. So, anyway, more about that later.
I promise to not go missing again, but I will have to spend a lot less time on here than I was I really didn't mean to be inconsiderate by not checking in....just really didn't know that I would be missed like that.

did you warn her never to do that again. and next time it won't be a phone call but a visit?

....don't tempt me, I just promised not to do it, but if I would get a visit....hmmm

Thanks for the RQ update!

Thanks for caring kekes!

Glad RQ is feeling better.

The sinus infection on top of my normal health crap really took a toll....
thanx HG!

NS, I truly admire how you handle Ryan. I am sorry that it is so challenging and stressful. I think of you and wish you strength more than you know....
Also to the rest of you struggling with issues with your kids....I wish you the best.


On a lighter note, did anyone realize that SNOW backwards is WO NS...as in WOah NSangel??!!

ok...40 more pages

[kekes]

Glad you found a wiki solution that works for you Lolcat .. bTW when does belly contest end?
